Nice work! Did you use commercial body and neck blanks or build it entirely from scratch?

Great job! Can you provide some details on the finish? What you used, how you applied it, etc.?

Great Work!

If I had a shop I would have long ago made myself a Breadweiner clone.
(I would have to learn how to solder, but...)

Thanks, Yes P90's from an EPI LP JR. that I put Kent Armstrongs in. Since I had them around I used them. Likely replace them with Armstrongs in this one also!

Sorry numbfingers I missed your reply. The body I shaped from a mahogany blank that I have had some time. The neck is an Eden paddle headstock that I shaped. The neck is attached with threaded inserts. PU's are EPI's, tuners Planet Wave locking and the bridge is Hipshot string through. Here are some additional shots. Sorry again!!

I have a shop, can solder and, with the rains starting, going to have a bunch of extra time on my hands. Maybe I could try something like this?

Problem would be that I don't play well enough to know if I had created a guitar or simply a complicated pos. :D
